AI visibility for hotels · vs. Operto GEO Consultant
A score tells you today. A system tells you next week.
Operto's GEO Consultant is a free, one-time AI-visibility score bundled into its smart-room platform. Staylight is a subscription that keeps checking.
Operto GEO Consultant is a free, one-time AI-visibility score for hotels; Staylight is an ongoing subscription that rescans every week or month, tracks the trend over time, and adds a technical audit, off-page check, hallucination detection, and ROI calculator that Operto's free tool doesn't include.
Operto GEO Consultant is a free scoring tool bundled into Operto ONE (Operto's smart-room/PMS platform): enter a hotel URL and target prompts, get back a "GEO score" and a visibility indicator showing whether visibility comes from the hotel's own site or from OTAs. It's a single-shot audit, not a subscription or a recurring scan.

Why hotels choose Staylight instead
It's a snapshot, not a system. Operto's tool runs your hotel through a single prompt set once and hands back a score. It's genuinely useful for a first look, but AI answers change week to week, and a score from today tells you nothing about next month.
No continuous tracking. Staylight scans every week, three engines on the Radar tier and all six above it, in up to eight languages, so you see the trend, not one point in time.
No audit depth, no hallucination check. Operto's diagnostic doesn't dig into robots.txt/JSON-LD-level crawler readiness or check whether an AI is stating something false about your hotel. Both are core Staylight modules.
No revenue framing. A visibility indicator tells you where you stand. It doesn't tell you what the gap costs. Staylight's ROI calculator turns the score into a dollar figure you can act on.
What we won't claim: if you just want a free first look and already run Operto's smart-room platform, their free tool costs you nothing to try. Staylight is for hotels that want that first look followed by an actual weekly system.
Yes, as of its 2026 launch it's offered as a free diagnostic tool, positioned as a lead-generation feature within Operto's broader Operto ONE hotel-operations platform rather than a standalone paid product.
